told a satisfactory version of the Grace Washburn story. Sfarried Yerkes' Widow. Of course so notable a figure could not escape a scandal. Broadway's badge of merit is a scandal. Mizner had a great one.

It lifted him high above the rank and It came to him shortly after he reached Broadway, at 29. He was the son of a former United States Minister to Mexico and to Guatemala. He went in for mining, went to Alaska wnen going to Alaska was a feat that Jack London and Rex Beach heroes accomplished. He made money, inherited money and he spent money faster than he Inherited or made It. He was Just beginning to uuuq up nis ongnt ngnls reputation when he met Mrs.

Char'ea T. Yerkes, wife of the- traction millionaire. She was within nodding distance of 60. At that Juncture her husband died. The earth had scarcely settled over his grave when, less than a month later, Mizner married the widow.

He could not have achieved greater publicity had he been Jabkie Coogan. One may Judge its oxtont by the fact that the New York American ran the story of the courtship from Mlzner's own dictation. It was entitled odd and familiar sentence "How I Wooed and Won Mrs. Yerkes." Last Swirl In the Spotlight. That started a full career of publicity for the young Westerner.

Old Yerkes had had a penchant for hiding his wealth. Every week or so- his widow and her husband wers opening secret doors and finding another million. Then it was reported far apd wide that he had demanded one of these million dollars for himself, to spend as he saw fit, and that she had denied this request. Then followed the divorce, only a.lllile moro than a year after the marriage. He went In for playwrlting.

He became a companion of the valiant Paul Armstrong and of adventurous and amorous Bronson Howard. They saw all of New York that was possible. They wrote plays together, produced them, made much money. Mizner appeared briefly in the enveloping scandal that followed the slaying of Rosenthal the gambler and the Becker trials. He reported fabulous winnings at the Partridge and Olympic Clubs.

"How long have you been playing chemln de fer?" asked a District Attorney, "sinco infancy," Mizner told him. Finally he disappeared, coming to Broadway only rarely. A short while ago he was arrested in Nassau during tho spectacular raids to clean the county and was fined $1,000. He was also given a year's prison sentence, but this was suspended pending good behavior. It was his last swirl In the spotlight of fast playing.

And now. In Jacksonville. Wilson Mizner is a carpenter. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS ON WORK TO BJ3 DONF3 FOR OR PITPUSH TO RE FURNISHED TO THE CITY OF NEW YORK.

The Collier offer was the basior protests to tho Commission by the Union Car Advertising company, Artemus Ward, and J.

After public hearings were held it developed that the Collier offer tiad grown by something like IS.50O00. The Transit Commission pointed out yesterday that a public Interest lay in the amounts to be received, due to the fact that the city Shares in the operations profits.

Chairman McAneny declared as he voted negatively that the contract should not bo approved since all of the Commission's requirements in the competitive bids had not been met.

PANTANO WITNESS CONFESSES THEFT Dernado Admits Stealing 000 From Bank. Anthony Dernado, called only a few days ago as a' character witness for his friend, Anthony J. Pantano. now awaiting the death sentence for complicity in the West End Bank robbery and murders, himself pleaded guilty In General Sessions, Manhattan, yesterday, to the theft of approximately $8,900 from the Irving Bank-Columbia Trust Company prior to his resignation In May last, and ho will be sentenced on March 18.

Dernado covered his peculations carefully tnat- it was several months after his resignation before suspicion was aroused. Then persons in Italy began to complain that they had not received substantial sums sent them by relatives here In the form of drafts. Dernado had been In charge of the foreign exchange department of the bank. At first It was believed that he had simply forgotten to send the drafts, and the bank forwarded new drafts. However, Dernado learned that the bank had discovered his failure to the money and he obtained miffirient funds from friends to send other drafts to Italy, in somo instances those expecting money received two drafts Instead of one.

This situation aroused the suspicions of the bank officials and they promptly began a thorough investigation of Dernado's accounts. It was discovered that he had added to his peculations by forging cashier's drafts. The specific indictment on which he was tried charged him with the theft of $189.63 on Oct. 5. 1922.

Pendtng his sentence Dernado was released on $5,000 bail in order that he might aid the bank officials in straightening out his books. COMMENTS ON KNIGHT BILL Arthur J. Davis. State Superintendent ot the Anti-Saloon Leegue of New Y'ork, when asked to express an opinion on the introduction of the Knight bill for State prohibition enforcement, said today: "It is impossible for me to express an opinion on legislation so far- reaching ns a State-wide prohibition enforcement bill without first hav lng an opportunity to se and study the text of the proposed legislation. I am In favor of any thoroughgoing and effective bill designed to accomplish the enforcement of prohibition in New Y'ork and introduced In good faith, backed bvan earnest effort to secure its enactment" 1 Therefore City Not Obligated to Pay Share in Crossing Elimination, He Long Island Railroad alonjr Atlantic ave, between the Flathush terminal and Jamaica, constitute i he gravest menace to huma.i lire, not only in the United Stale but probably in the entire World, declared Boro President Maurice L.

Connolly of Queens in a lengthy statement today, strongly urging the passage of acts iproviding for the elimination of these crossings, which now are pending in the State Legislature. Mr. Connolly added: "The Long Island Railroad Com pany claims that tt will cost to elim- nate the crossings between Brook lyn and Jamaica for a six-track railroad the sum of $100,000,000. ond for xisttng tracks the sum of ISO.OOO.- 000. if a subway is to be constructed throughout.

The railroad company bluntly suggests that it will be the duty of the City of New York and the State of New York to pay a portion of the cost of depressing a siv-track railroad on Atlantic ave. or the 'existing' tracks on Atlantic hichever plan is decided upon. At the present time the railroad oper ates four tracks upon a large portion of Its right of way between its Brook lyn terminus and Jamaica, whereas as a matter of fact it has under its charter the right, to operate no more than two tracks, and in no sense the City of New York or the Slate of New York liable for a participa tion in the cost of depressing four or six tracks, but only in the cost, of depressing or elevating two tracks- the number the railroad company is legally intitled to operate. "The Long Tsland Railroad Com pany's predecessor between Jamaica nnd Brooklyn was incorporated by Chapter 256 of the Laws of 1 832. and under this act they were entitled to operate only a single or double (rack.

No change in this situation was affected bv the consolidation of the original railroad, known as the Brooklyn and Jamaica Railroad. with the L. I. R. R.

"The Corporation Counsel many years ago held that the Long Island Railroad had absolutely no right to operate tracks in excess of two on any pnrt of its right of way except ing the yards or appendages, and the company has never challenged this decieion In the courts." U. S. GOVERNMENT SEEKS L. I. LAND FOR LIGHTHOUSE Eagle Bureau.

901 Colorado Building. Washington, Feb. 29 Senutor Wadsworth offered in the Senate yesterday a bill providing for th transfer and. exchange of certain Long Island property between the. Slate of New Y'ork and the United Stales.

According to this measure the Government is to turn over to the State 600 acres of the Fire Island lighthouse reservation, valued nt $30,000, to be used for public park purposes. Two and a half acres of the Lloyd's Harbor lighthouse reservation is to be similarly transferred to the Slate by the Government in return for a parcel of State land measuring one-twenty-flflh of an acre on Hallet's Point, L. I. The United States -wants this small piece of property from the State for the purpose of erecting a lighthouse on the point. Both pieces of land are valued at 14,000 which Is expected to balance tho deal without further considerations.

Box Y-26, Ealo office. jar-. a I I A' FEW years ago Wilson Mlxner was the perfection of that chl- merle figure, "a man about own." In bis case the illusory con-ipt waa real: a splendid young gentleman, athletic, garbed as faultlessly aa an advertisement for a Prince of Wales model; a gentleman seen by the rabble only as he strode briskly from the genteel door of a famous Broadway restaurant to his waiting car, a fair, fragile, evening dressed beauty at his side, liveried doormen, ana rootmen prooirnwus. themselves as he passed; a gentleman exuding.

Broadway at its richest and swellest, at its gayest: and wildest; a gentleman flavored with the aristocratic gambling houses, the bacchanalian champagne partial, the casual friendship of highly paid comedians, prizefighters, and as-toundingly beautiful actresses; a bon vivant; a tinselled aristocrat. That was Wilson Mizner. He was, aa Broadway possibly would say, "the goods." Ho was Richard Harding Davis with a wild streak. He was handsome, strong, keen-witted, talented. He wrote plays, melodramas of a kind of merit, with George Bronson-Howard and Paul Armstrong.

Quips, anecdotes, salty aphorisms were connected with his name. People talked about him; he was the source of endlecs conversation, discussion, differences of opinion. He was dramatic. Through With Broadway. Now he's a carpenter.

He's a carpenter in Jacksonville, He isn't exactly down on his luck. He saved a little, and, besides, he's a good carpenter, making 'good money. But Jacksonville is further from Broadway than it is from New York. To him It must be the other end of the world, of his world. Possibly he might have gotten further from the Wrigley sign on the Putnam Build? ing by going to Girard.

or Fork Center, but then perhaps he did not know that Girard and Fort Center existed. Jacksonville is far enough. Now he says: "I'm through with Broadway. Never going to see it again. Things are going along O.

K. with me here, and I'm planted, kid. I'm planted." This, from Wilson Mizner! Stories About Mizner. Stories grew up around Wilson Mizner, Just as they did about Stephen Crane end nichard Harding Davis In their day and Just as they do about some of the Nothcr Broadway figures todsy. Even at third and fourth hand there was still evidence of his acid wit.

He met a young girl whose nose was too large, "Do you." he asked her after a brief survey of it, "smell anything around here?" The girl looked around cautiously. "No," she replied. "Then," commented Mizner, "there's nothing to be smelled around here." It wasn't an emlablo observation, but it was Mizner wit "I play by note," he explained his chemln de fer rsme once when he was strapped for funds. "My difficulty Is in trying to pav by note." Once a bookmaker named Sam Newman Incurred his enger. It had been reported to Mizner that Newman had made certain unsavory remarks regarding his acquaintanceship with a girl named Grace Washburn.

Newman danced and dined one night In the old Rector's. He came out of the door at 2 o'clock In the morning. The Immaculate Mr Mizner was waiting for him. He made a quick dive at Newman's hip pockets and then said: "No cannon, eh, Sammy?" The surprised Newman stood aghast. And then Mizner caught Newman's nose br-tween his thumb snd forefinger and invited him to come around the -corner to Jack's.

Newman struggled to iret away but Mizner, heavier and stronger, held tight. Crowd" gathr el-ed along the sidewalk. Newman squerJed. Mizner chaffed him good naturrdly. No cop appeared.

Mizner led his victim down Broadwnv to 47th west on 47lh to 6th a policeman stopped them. "No trouble, officer." Mizner explained. "This is Just the settlement of a trick bet. isn't if, Sammy?" "Yes," replied Sammy. Then Mizner took him Into Jack's.
